We are thrilled to welcome the international shaman, author and spiritual teacher John Lockley back to Positive Nights to launch his new book, “Leopard Warrior”, on Thursday the 10th of May from 7.00 to 9.00 p.m. Our venue is the stunning Bewley’s Café Theatre on Grafton Street, Dublin 2. You can book your tickets on Eventbrite. Read on to find out more about what this amazing evening will hold.
AN AFRO-CELT HEALER RETURNS HOME
John’s mother, Anastasia Kelly, had a vision of Africa whilst walking the Dun Laoghaire peer in the 1950’s. Who would have thought that her vision involved the mystical healing tradition of Nelson Mandela’s tribe, the Xhosa nation; and that her son would become the first Irishman to be invited to train in one of the oldest shamanic traditions in the world, the sangoma people.
In my discussions with him he was so passionate about coming home to the beginning of his journey, to the place of his Mother’s vision: Dublin, Ireland. Join us while we listen to John’s remarkable story and hear him talk about ancestors, nature spirits, immortality and the importance of listening to our Dreams. In my chat with him earlier, he said “In my experience, Paul, many people in Ireland have visions and prophetic dreams. What I hope to do is inspire people to trust in their bones, their ancestors and their Dreams. Modern Ireland is wonderful, but I still remember the Ireland of the 1970’s when my Grandmother looked after all of us in Monkstown. We listened to her dreams with rapt wonder while she made us all tea. Smartphones are wonderful, Paul, but we need to remember to listen to our elders, their stories, dreams, and the folklore of our emerald isle. Because there is more to the stories of the little people than we can possibly comprehend…”
To find out more, join me and John for a chat, book read, and workshop involving John teaching us a traditional South African trance dance. Get your dancing shoes on and your poetry books lined up….
People will have an opportunity to get a signed copy of his book.
John will be available for private sessions in the days following this event. He will also be running a one day workshop in Dublin in June followed by a 3 day retreat in Kerry.

John Lockley’s book launch and seminar will take place on Thursday May 10th from 7.00 to 9.00 p.m in the Bewley’s Café Theatre, Grafton Street, Dublin 2. Click here to book your tickets.
John Lockley – a traditional African/Irish Sangoma (shaman) from the Xhosa tribe of South Africa – joined us at Positive Nights on the 31st of August 2017. We wanted to share this recording of his remarkable interview with Paul on that night, where he talked about a wide variety of subjects, including his early life in apartheid-era South Africa, how he came to accept his Sangoma calling, and the importance of dreams. John’s new book ‘Leopard Warrior,’ which describes his incredible journey, will be released later this year. He will be leading a retreat at Aloha House in Co. Kerry on September 22nd, and is also available in Dublin for private healing and divination sessions. You can find out more about his services at his website, www.johnlockley.com.

John’s story is a remarkable testament to the human spirit to survive adversity and trust in one’s dreams. His story started in Dublin in the 1950’s with is Mother, Anastasia Kelly’s vision of African elephants whilst walking the Dun Laoghaire peer. For the last 20 years he has worked alongside some of South Africa’s top diviners, healers and herbalists. Now over 60 years later he has returned bearing gifts of African indigenous technology in the form of storytelling, ancestral dreaming, divination, plant healing, trance dancing and shaking medicine, to name but a few. John is a specialist with dreams and clients are welcome to discuss theirs with him.
A Review for ‘Leopard Warrior’:
“Leopard Warrior is truly a remarkable account of the initiation of a white male in South Africa into becoming a sangoma. This is quite a sign to be entrusted with these deep ancestral mysteries. John Lockley shares a wealth of stories that will bring tears to your eyes as well as inspire you to want to learn more. The exercises he provides are simple yet transformative. This book is brilliant!”
